This is the sump at the lowest part of the tunnel that runs between Govan and Partick under the River Clyde which connects over to inner circle line. As you can see it's reassuringly dry 8)


See I knew someone would have more info and they even beat me to the punchline.

Thanks guys! Interesting yet disappointing, was hoping you were going to tell me you had found the old entrance to Merkland St.

Thanks again......... :D

Ah but we did. There is a picture of it on the 1st page of this very thread. 2nd post by Gap74 about the 9th photo down you can see the bricked up entrance.

Cheers

Sorry! I should have been more clear, I was taking about the entrance to the station & stairway leading down to platform.'
But once again I complement you folk on a fantastic selection of photographs.

Thanks.

NOt sure if anything exists above ground of the old Merkland Street station. It's probably under Morrisons. Have a look in this thread for some pictures of how it was:

The entrance was just about where the current Partick building is, a wee bit south maybe.

There was a wee brick built cafe, called the Metro on the site of the original station building.

That's where my 'a wee bit south maybe' fudge factor comes in ::):
